14 And they say to God, `Turn aside from us, And the  knowledge of Thy ways We have not desired.
         
                                
                        15 What [is] the Mighty One that we serve Him? And what do we  profit when we meet with Him?`
         
                                
                        16 Lo, not in their hand [is] their good, (The counsel of the  wicked Hath been far from me.)
         
                                
                        17 How oft is the lamp of the wicked extinguished, And come  on them doth their calamity? Pangs He apportioneth in His  anger.
         
                                
                        18 They are as straw before wind, And as chaff a hurricane  hath stolen away,
         
                                
                        19 God layeth up for his sons his sorrow, He giveth  recompense unto him -- and he knoweth.
         
                                
                        20 His own eyes see his destruction, And of the wrath of the  Mighty he drinketh.
